J.PERIOD’s collaborative, improvisational performance series, THE LIVE MIXTAPE, is just that: a hip hop mixtape, performed and recorded live on stage - in one take - by some of hip hop’s most celebrated MCs, and one of its most groundbreaking DJs.

For the latest installment of The Live Mixtape, J.PERIOD recruited three of Hip Hop’s undisputed microphone kings (Rakim, Black Thought, and Pharoahe Monch) to re-ignite the timeless Hip Hop debate - who’s your Top 5 MCs? - in front of a sold-out crowd in New York City (featured guests included: Smif N Wessun, Black Sheep Dres, Mumu Fresh and Stro Elliot).

One legendary night. And we got it all on tape.

Now, thanks to an historic partnership with Dubset Media, The Live Mixtape [#Top5MCs Edition] will, for the first time ever, be available on all major streaming platforms. Today, The Live Mixtape [#Top5MCs Edition] goes live on Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal.
